• Old style

    到重庆一趟,让我元气大伤,下车的时候很想倒在那片瓦砾上,杰妹坚持要我去酒吧,她说她想我了。

    33送我的内衣不错,触感温婉柔和,或者说居家服更合适,照片发给她,她问我是不是大了,我说我喜欢宽松的,穿那么紧绷干嘛,记得本高先生每到夏天就穿很长的很宽大的自制长袖来上课,完全的私塾先生打扮,可惜他现在不上课了,大概也没有了那种氛围,小伊昨晚上去醉酒,吐得一塌糊涂,我想,这样的方式也许更好,她虽然幼稚,但是她却从不为自己的决定后悔,这很难得。

    在NYT上看到一篇文章,觉得应该是被标记为Modern Love专栏才对,后来一想,这明明就是Old style,我到底是怎么在想哦……和大家分享一下,希望大家能完整的阅读。

    Vows: Marilu Henner, Michael Brown
    IT was October 1970. President Nixon was in office and the Beatles had broken up. Every Thursday night, a feisty red-haired young woman named Marilu Henner walked across the campus of the University of Chicago alongside Michael Brown, a handsome guy with long hair and glacier blue eyes. They were freshmen, giddy with newfound freedom. Anyone strolling by would have assumed they were a couple.
    They were not. “My roommate Linda was dating him, and he would walk me back to the dorm from physics class to see her,” said Ms. Henner, who became an actress and is perhaps best known for the hit TV series “Taxi” and for appearances in Broadway shows. “I wish I had met him first.”
    Mr. Brown and the roommate eventually broke up. Ms. Henner wanted more than anything to pursue him, but she said the “girlfriend code” — never date a friend’s ex — forbade it. She stifled her crush.
    “I had no idea she felt that way,” Mr. Brown, 54, said the other day. “I’m a guy. I don’t have that radar.”
    Ms. Henner, also 54, made her Broadway debut in 1974 in the musical “Over Here!” She had grown up in a theatrical household. Her parents ran a dancing school in the backyard of their Chicago house and a beauty salon in the kitchen. An uncle operated a cat hospital on the roof when he wasn’t serving as the neighborhood astrologist.
    While Ms. Henner pursued her acting career, Mr. Brown became a merchant seaman and traveled the world.
    The actress and the sailor crossed paths again in the fall of 1980 in New Orleans. Ms. Henner, then 28 and already recognizable as the spunky female cabbie on “Taxi,” was sitting in a small office at City Hall, awaiting a wedding license for her impending first marriage to the actor Frederic Forrest. Suddenly, she saw Mr. Brown pass in the hallway. “I was so excited,” Ms. Henner remembered. “I screamed and went running after him.”
    Mr. Brown, who had married and had just returned from living in Brazil, had no idea that Ms. Henner was famous. “She invited me to her wedding, but then I never got a phone call with the details,” he said. Ms. Henner had realized that she couldn’t have him there for two reasons: her fiancé was very jealous and Mr. Brown’s eyes still buckled her knees.
    “I kept thinking, ‘How come I’m not marrying a guy like that?’ ” she said.
    More than 20 years passed. Ms. Henner divorced Mr. Forrest, and then married the television director Robert Lieberman, with whom she had two sons. In 2001, she was again divorced and living high in the Hollywood Hills.
    Mr. Brown, who had three children and who was also divorced, lived nearby in Palos Verdes. He had joined his twin brother, Marc, as a partner in BrownTrout Publishers, a San Francisco company that made wall calendars, books and pocket planners.
    That February, a mutual friend who had recently run into Ms. Henner passed her phone number to Mr. Brown. “I was alone and adrift,” he said. “I didn’t know that Marilu was single. I just wanted to talk to a friend.” He called and left a message.
    “My heart was pounding when I called him back,” Ms. Henner said. “I twisted like a pretzel to put the tension in my body, so he wouldn’t hear it in my voice.”
    A date was set for dinner. Mr. Brown, who usually wears black jeans and a leather jacket, arrived an hour late to pick up Ms. Henner because his daughters had insisted on dressing him in a silk shirt and pleated pants. (“I saved that outfit, but he hasn’t worn it since,” Ms. Henner said.) After a four-and-a-half-hour meal, they returned to Ms. Henner’s home. She took him outside to admire the view a few times. Finally, he got the hint: they kissed.
    Within a week, they were in love. Two months later, Mr. Brown found out he had bladder cancer. Ms. Henner, a longtime vegan who has written several health books, quickly took charge and arranged appointments with a phalanx of specialists. During a CAT scan, it was discovered that Mr. Brown also had early-stage lung cancer.
    “My friends asked me, ‘Doesn’t this make you want to bail?’ ” Ms. Henner said. “I said: ‘No way! I had finally found the love of my life and I want him around for another 30 years, at least.’ ”
    Mr. Brown, whom Ms. Henner likens to a sequoia because he is tall, strapping and solid, said: “I felt like it was more unfair for her than for me. But she stuck with me and she saved my life.”
    In November of that year, Mr. Brown underwent surgery to remove the lower lobe of his right lung. He awoke, feeling groggy. When he finally focused, he saw Ms. Henner. She was sitting at his bedside, smiling and holding his hand.
    “With all the emotion I could muster, I proposed,” said Mr. Brown, whose disease is in remission. “I love her spirit.”
    They were married on Thursday before 100 people in Ms. Henner’s home. The bridegroom’s twin brother, a Universal Life minister, officiated. The bride, who wore a pale peach Escada gown, was given away by her sons, Nicky, 12, and Joey, 11. In the couple’s vows, she promised to update his wardrobe, and he swore to obey the rules in her health books.
    “It’s nice that people live long enough that they’re able to find their way back to the place where they always should have been,” the bridegroom’s twin brother said.

  • 黑衣服MM一坐下就拿出MP3播放器塞进耳朵

    很不幸,今天早上的飞机还是没掉下来,下次我直接劫机算了,或者破坏厕所里面的烟雾探测器,大家一起憋死在飞机里面,嗯,这个idea不错,坐我旁边的是一个黑衣服MM,长得很端庄,这种美丽我不太欣赏,用杰妹的话说,那就是我喜欢的女人都是风尘型,黑衣服MM一坐下就拿出MP3播放器塞进耳朵,十秒钟之后我明白了,先于我们坐下的那个肥胖男正打着不大不小的呼噜,有个空姐是星期五晚上见过的,但是其它都很陌生,难道川航的空乘不是固定班机的?那个漂亮的杜可可……

    小伊说她喜欢上一个有妇之夫 ,她说她不能拒绝他的那种眼神,我问她有几分信心,她却说她打算放弃,只是抑郁无处发泄,其实我想说的是,作为美女,往往被很多烟云所蒙蔽,众多追求者会伪装出很多的场景,好不容易自己去喜欢上了一个人,偏偏又是有妇之夫,造化弄人,我本来想跟她说婚姻根本就不是障碍,但是,既然她已经说要放弃,也就不好干涉她的决定。

    困得慌,猫猫疯了一般狂发彩信,因为不发满一百条就不给报销话费,原以为只有网管中心查得到短信记录,原来她就可以查到,只不过需要我的密码,嘿嘿,等我查下其它人的……

    At first I was afraid I was petrified
    Kept thinkin’ I could never live without you by my side;
    But then I spent so many nights
    Thinkin’ how you did me wrong
    And I grew strong
    And I learn how to get along
    And so you’re back from outer space
    I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face
    I should have changed that stupid lock
    I should have made you leave your key
    If I’d’ve known for just one second you’d back to bother me

    Go on now, go walk out the door
    Just turn around now
    (’cause) you’re not welcome anymore
    Weren’t you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
    Did I crumble
    Did you think I’d lay down and die?
    Oh no, not.I. I will survive
    Oh as long as I know how to love I know I’ll stay alive;
    I’ve got all my life to live,
    I’ve got all my love to give and I’ll survive,
    I will survive.

    It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
    Kept trying’ hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart,
    And I spent oh so many nights
    Just feeling sorry for myself. I used to cry
    But now I hold my head up high
    And you see me somebody new
    I’m not that chained up little person still in love with you,
    And so you feel like droppin’ in
    And just expect me to be free,
    Now I’m savin’ all my lovin’ for someone who’s lovin’ me
